Juliette Low Seminar 2006

The prestigious Juliette Low Seminar occurs twice each triennium. The event provides a platform for young women from around the world to discuss leadership issues and develop their leadership skills.

This year, the theme was ’Values-based Leadership in an International Setting’ and it took place from 27 August 2006 to 2 September 2006.

The Sangam World Centre hosted the event and participants attended sessions on all aspects of leadership and leadership development. There was also an opportunity to visit local organisations to discuss leadership in an Indian context.

What happened? Read the daily updates!

During the seminar, the young women participating posted daily updates to this section. Visitors to the site left comments which were read out during reflections every morning.

Each day has its own page so look out for polls, news and photos. Don’t forget to take part in the polls – we still want to find out from YOU what your opinion is on burning issues from the seminar!

JLS 2005 was a wonderful and changing experience for me. I hope you had the greatest of times!!! I wish you the best in achieving your personal goals and discovering your potentials. If you had the opportunity to attend JLS it’s because you have plenty to share with the world.

All the way from Costa Rica a warm hug to my JLS 2005 partners and to JLS 2006 wish you the best.

I felt the same too... JLS is a fantabulous experience... something I'll cherish for life.

With both Sangam and Juliette Low Seminars close to my heart - I am once again inspired by the unique strenth and opportunity our organization offers. As we discovered at our seminar in 2000 - you will all become agents for change in your own way. I hope India has captured your spirit the way it did mine and wish you luck as you return home to dream, dare and do! As Gandhi said - "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

We wish you well as you go your separate ways and hope that this is just the beginning of a very bright future for the next generation of WAGGGS leaders.Best WishesFrom all the staff at Sangam.

THESE WOMEN BESIDE MEWhen I look at their faces,I always see interest and patience.I see smiles and honest expressionsfrom these women beside me.

When I listen to them, I hearlaughter, stories of life and mutualexperiences that I sharewith these women beside me.

When I begin to know them, Iknow them as mothers, wives, teachers,nurses and much more. They aremuch more, these women beside me.

When I am with them, they inspire meto try. They encourage me and include me. I always feel welcomed by thesewomen beside me.

When I tell people about them, I saythey are Guiders. They are not aboveme or below me. I am thankful to know these women beside me.
